Sensitivity experiment where the vertical limit of integration for the Eady time scale was changed to 100m-1000m. In control exp 018 this limit was 100m to 2000m. This experiment does not include the fix to the eddy phase speed incorporated into exp 026

\(\color{green}{\quad CESM \quad Implementation \quad of \quad Steering \quad Parameterization}\)
During the development of the parameterization several tuning modifications were made to the terms listed above to better match the observations.
- New implementation of Eady Growth rate (sigma) that avoids undefined values at the equator. See alternate derivation at end of this page.
\(\quad\quad\quad \sigma_{vi} = {f \over \sqrt{R_i}}\) is replace by \(\sigma_{vi} = \quad {{\require\cancel \cancel f m^2} \over \cancel f N}\)
- Don't use Rhine Scale in calculation of \(L_{eddy}\)
\(\quad\quad\quad L_{eddy} = min (L_r, L_{req}, \cancel{L_{Rh}})\)
- Eddy phase speed calculation modified to avoid undefined value at the equator and limited to better match Bates paper.
\(\quad\quad\quad \cancel{c = - \beta * {L_r^2}}\) is replace with \(c = max(- \beta * L_{eddy}^2,-20)\)
- \(u_{rms}\) is hard to capture in this implememtation due to the coarse model resolution and use of mean vs resolved states. We imposed a \(5 cm/sec\) minimum on \(U_{rms}\) to tune to surface obs of Bates and included a scaling constant \(\alpha\) to handle the bias introduced by using mean state instead of resolved state.
\(\quad\quad\quad u_{rms} = max(5.,alpha*\sigma_{vi}*L_r)\)
\(\quad\quad\quad \alpha=4\) The scaling constant for \(U_{rms}\)
- The Eddy diffusivity calculated by our implementation was weak so we bumped up \(\Gamma\) from .35 to 1.75 (5x increase)
\(\quad\quad\quad \Gamma=.35\) replaced with \(\Gamma = 1.75\)

\(L_{eddy} = min (L_r, L_{req}, \require{cancel}\cancel{L_{Rh}})\)
Since the two length scales we are using in the parameterization of \(L_{eddy}\) depend on the Baroclinic wave speed \(c_r\) we will first check \(c_r\) against Chelton 1998.

The alternate derivation of \(\sigma_{vi}\):
\(R_i = {N^2\over{(\frac{\partial u}{\partial z})^2+(\frac{\partial v}{\partial z})^2}}\)
\(N^2={-g \over \rho_0 }\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial z}\)
After hydrostatic and geostrophic approximations
\(f \frac {\partial v}{\partial z} = {{-g \over \rho_0 }\frac {\partial \rho}{\partial x}}; \quad\quad f \frac {\partial u}{\partial z} = {{g \over \rho_0 }\frac {\partial \rho}{\partial y}} \)
so
\(\frac {\partial v}{\partial z} = {{-1\over f}{g \over \rho_0 }\frac {\partial \rho}{\partial x}}; \quad\quad \frac {\partial u}{\partial z} = {{1\over f}{g \over \rho_0 }\frac {\partial \rho}{\partial y}}\)
\(R_i = {f^2 N^2 \over {\underbrace{{ {g^2 \over \rho_0^2 } ( \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial y})^2 + {g^2 \over \rho_0^2 } ( \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial z})^2} }_\text{m^4}}}\quad\quad = \quad\quad {f^2N^2 \over m^4} \)
\(\sigma_{vi} = {f \over \sqrt{R_i}}\quad = \quad {f \over \sqrt{{f^2N^2 \over m^4}}}\quad = \quad {{\cancel f m^2} \over \cancel f N}\)
\(RX_1 = RX_{east} = \Delta\rho_x = \rho_{i+1,j} - \rho_{i,j}\)
\(RY_1 = RY_{north} = \Delta\rho_y = \rho_{i,j+1} - \rho_{i,j}\)

Note: missing \(f^2\) which will be cancelled when forming \(\sigma_{vi}\)
\(\quad\quad\) so \(\cdots\) this is not \(R_i\)
